Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, and Shawn Levy May Say ALOHA
Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill may be reteaming with director Shawn Levy (Real Steel). THR is reporting that Twentieth Century Fox picked up a Hawaii-set comedy pitch called Aloha as a development project that would star Hill and Stiller and be directed by Levy. They would also hold producer titles on the project. Nicholas Stoller (Get Him to the Greek) is in talks to write the script, based on an idea from Hill. Levy, Hill, and Stiller worked together to flesh out the idea while shooting The Watch.
Not much else is known about the story at this time, but the story is described as an island-set comedy, which will likely be filmed in Hawaii. The Watch opens on July 27th and looks hilarious. Hill and Stiller have a good chemistry together from what I have seen so far. Would you like to see a Hawaiian comedy from this trio?
